I may try extracting the coffee again too. I remember doing it forever ago when we all still used something like 20% flavorings and mine was awful I'll have to look up the instructions again.

 

[Bovinia]

Here we go, Wuzz...I believe this is the instruction for coffee extraction that I did a long time ago. I'm quite certain that the awful results I had were because of the huge % used in mixing the final juice, not with the extraction itself. This also works with flavored coffees too.

Fill 1/2 of a 30 ml bottle of ground coffee. I used Cuban coffee because it's really strong.. Then top it off with PG and microwave for 10 seconds. (no longer). The Pg will absorb the coffee. Then top off again with pg, then place bottle in a hot water bath for 20 minutes. Strain mixture with a coffee filter. I used a funnel, and cut the filter to fit.

I used 3% coffee, 1% Bavarian Cream and 1% Caramel and It was the best Coffee liquid I ever had.

I wouldn't use a bottle. I used a small canning jar. You can use a 1/2 cup measure. Much easier to get the grounds in and out of. I use regular coffee and strain and nuke 3 times with coffee filter draped over coffee cup

You're so smart Fran! Sleep well

Thanx Bov and Fran. I extract my tobaccos in baby food jars. To strain I use a pint mason jar. I put the organic coffee filter in and secure it over the top with the ring off a mason jar lid. Works pretty fast. I can't wait to try the coffee. I'll probably use Neumans organic. I copied the recipe Hope everybody's having a safe and fun weekend.

After spending some time at the dentist office, extract is not the word I want to hear. All your extracting is making my teeth ache[emoji16]
Good luck doing what your doing. I have mixed mine for years, but since I only do menthol, things are pretty simple. I can do a 60 ml bottle in no time.
Sleep well friends.

Good morning Fran and good morning Wuzz.
Another pleasant day for us with mild temps and a happy sky.
After church, we always take our lunch and our little 13 year old Boston Terrior, who of course is named Rosco, and go to a 150 yr old farm site that the county owns and have lunch. Usually we are the only ones around and the view is fantastic. Surrounded by over 100 years of farm memories.
Since my wife and I were both raised on farms and in 4H together, it is always nostalgic for us. We're so grateful to have been raised on a farm in a small community, surrounded by nature.
Count your blessings, one by one always has me remembering where it all began.
"Truly blessed" are more than mere words.

Morning ladies and gents

Sounds lovely Rosco! I miss having farm country around me.

 

[Wuzznt Me]

I don't miss farm country a bit. It's right out my back door lol. The citrus is pretty much gone since two years of freezes but still a few dirt farmers and several cattlemen. We've still got cowboys here that work cattle on horseback. One in his 90s.

 

[FranC]

Good evening,folks We still have a lot of farms here.

 

[Bovinia]

There is plenty of rural areas in Ct, but I live in town.

 

[FranC]

Lots of farms here and in VT along the Connecticut River valley.
